When asked about the pay-per-view spectacle, Mayweather said he could make $ 35 million (£ 25 million) to fight any regular boxer.
But an exhibition extravaganza will earn him $ 65 million more as he projects that he will make $ 100 million (£ 72 million) against Paul.
Mayweather told entrepreneur Rob Moore, “I still prefer to go out, talk, and have fun.
“Just because I go out and chat, have fun, it doesn’t mean I still want to fight 12 rounds.
“I think we have a six-round show and I think it will be very fun and people will love it.
“We have to look at 35 million for 12 rounds or 100 million for six rounds, big difference, big difference.
“And I can’t really tell what the numbers will be. How much money I’m going to make, or how much Logan Paul is going to make.
“But we talk about projection, we always have to talk about what is being projected.”

44-year-old Mayweather is believed to be curtailing PPV sales, as has been the case during his historic 50-0 career.
Paul, 26, is more in the dark about his purse, but close friend Mike Majlak claimed his podcast host was making at least £ 10 million.
Majlak said, “Eight numbers – you won’t say it, eight numbers.”
Mayweather made nearly £ 900 million in career income, including around £ 600 million defeating Conor McGregor, 32, and Manny Pacquiao, 42.
He officially hung his gloves as a pro in 2017 after beating ex-UFC champ McGregor.
But the American legend returned a year later and wiped out the feather-light kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa in a Japanese exhibition.
Mayweather is gearing up for a similar box office comeback with Paul, who made his professional debut in 2019 but lost to 27-year-old social media rival KSI.
The exhibition was originally scheduled for February 20th, but was later postponed to allow fans to participate. Miami will host the fight at Hard Rock Stadium.
